Odds bodkins

Travelling down to the West of England recently, I saw an ad for one of those terrible events that the UK specialises in. It is called “Joust” and takes place at Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire late in July. Attractions include “pelt the peasant”, “face and wound painting” and “wandering minstrels and lepers”. The £10 entrance fee also will also allow access to “mediaeval baebes concerts”. Gadzooks! Forgive me sire if I retire to my chamber and spende my olde tenner on having my eyebrowes plucked insteade. Thy joust is ye crappiest jest of 2006 methinks.
